Stroud Area Regional Police are investigating the death of a 3-month-old baby boy who was found unresponsive at a Stroud Township day care Thursday evening.

A 911 call was received from 124 Jamie Court at 7:08 p.m. indicating that the infant was not responding and possibly not breathing, said SARP Corporal Kenneth Nevil. In a press release, Nevil termed the death "suspicious."

Responding police officers performed CPR on the infant until paramedics arrived. The baby was taken to Pocono Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

An autopsy is scheduled for Friday morning at Lehigh Valley Hospital.

Police did not name the day care facility, only saying it is state-certified. However, a search of the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare's database shows one at that address, a private residence, registered to Deborah Terry Thompson.

The day care serves children up to age 12 and has a capacity of six, according to state records.
